Enjoyed the stay. Honey atmosphere. Had minimal issues with a toilet seat and unable to connect to wifi. Unfortunately the heat kept us from enjoying the pool. Kids enjoyed playing ping pong

We really enjoyed our stay! The home is very large and open. A great place for our dog to move around. Very secluded and private but yet very close to anything you might need. Owner was vary responsive to our request. We encountered no issues during our stay. We will stay here again...hopefully during summer months so we can enjoy the beautiful deck and pool area!

We stayed in this house over a long weekend for SIU graduation. It was absolutely perfect for our family visit. Close to everything, private end of driveway location, well stocked kitchen and the open floor plan was ideal. I would highly recommend this rental home!
